Amazing experience!
I went on a two day Safari to Amboseli. The experience was amazing. I appreciated the service and responsiveness of Morningstar tours throughout. They contacted me early on to help me clarify my wishes and iron out any issues with booking. In the days before the tour, they sent me timely reminders and made arrangement for hotel pickup. Driver was very friendly and serviceable. The game drives were amazing with the driver finding the best spots to see animals. The lodge was great too. Would definitely book with Morningstar again.

An amazing and enjoyable Adventure
Were we lucky to be able to catch Samuel and Benson of Bush-Thorns Adventures on a few free days, for a last minute trip with them in Kenya.
Due to changes in our travel plans we ended up with a few unplanned days on the final stretch of our Kenya trip. We wanted to see Aberdare National Park, but we were not in Nairobi where most trips leave from; therefore it was hard to find something suitable. We contacted a few agencies, and noticed quickly that Bush-Thorns Adventures was by far the quickest, most communicative and most helpful to create an affordable plan that suited our departure location and wishes.
We spent two days visiting many beautiful Waterfalls in Aberdare National Park, and hiking Mt. Satima (4001m., often called Lesatime) together. This was a wonderful, exciting and for us doable hike suggested by Samuel, which turned out to be a great substitute for our cancelled Mt. Kenya trek.
We enjoyed it so much that we decided to extend our two day adventure with Samuel and Benson with a safari through Ol' Pejeta National Reserve; a testimony to their willingness and competency to adapt, make good suggestions and fully accommodate their clients even if they are 'spontaneous' travelers like us :)
A part from their competency, general care for our well-being and openness to 'new' itineraries, we also simply enjoyed their company; the conversations about Kenya, Wild-Life, tourism and our shared interest in birds definitely made the final part of our stay in Kenya with them one of the highlights. Our frantic search for birds often lead to funny moments with Benson flipping through his Birds of East-Africa book, while Samuel was trying to find matching bird sounds online in order to identify one of the many beautiful and for us foreign species we encountered.
If you are wondering wether to travel with Bush-Thorns Adventures, let this be a gentle but convincing nudge towards a yes.

Excellent from start to end.
What an amazing experience from start to end!!
Booking our safari with Nature In Spirit Travel was a breeze from the very start. It was very good communication with Victor in getting a safari trip as per our request and budget. All important questions and queries were answered very promptly and efficiently. We did the 10 days Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Hot Air Balloon at Serengeti. We covered Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Northern Serengeti. Our vehicle was comfortable with a rooftop which could be opened during the safari rides. There was also a cooler that kept ample supply of water, sodas and also beers for some of our outdoor lunches in the parks. There was also snacks of chips and nuts stocked up at all times thru the safari rides.
From the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport; we were picked up by our amazing guide Moses. Moses proved to be an amazing guide with such sharp eyes in spotting the most elusive wild animals; an absolutely skilled driver and an overall jovial person to have with us! He also became my Kiswahili teacher :)
Nature In Spirit selected all our accommodations for this trip and all were perfect and comfortable. Check-in to all hotels were seemless. Our package included sponsorship for water filters for 2 families who had polluted water sources. It gave us immense heartfelt joy in personally going to their simple homes to give them this water filters. Thank you David for including this in our package.
Overall we saw all the big 5 (Lion, Leopard, African Elephant, African Buffalo and Black Rhino) multiple times and so many more wild animals in their natural habitat. We had some cultural experiences with some native tribes, had local African food and also banana beer. The Hot Air Balloon ride arranged was great and will be a memorable experience for us. This was an amazing holiday for us and we highly recommend to do your safari trips with Nature In Spirit Travel. Asante sana & Nashukuru!!

Fantastic experience of all Chobe has to offer
Kalahari Tour's provide an amazing service.
From arranging your pick up to the actual game drives (and Chobe river views), the experience is awesome. Friendly, highly knowledgeable guides will share their passion for all Chobe's wildlife, and answer all your questions too. Their experience will find for you the very best opportunities to view the dense and diverse game available. Every trip has been memorable.
There's a reason I've chosen Kalahari now over 4 different years, they're the best!
That includes their overnight camping package, a truly wonderful experience you should not miss!

Amazing safari experience. Would definitely recommend
During our honeymoon, Ozon light tours made sure we had the full “safari experience”.
Thanks to their very qualified and friendly guide, Frank, we can look back to an amazing time at Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.
Not only did we saw a lot of animals (including the big 5), we learned a lot from the guide and we always got the best treatment.
He literally went the extra mile to make sure we saw all the animals.
Thank you so much, Ozon light tours and especially Frank for making this an unforgettable experience!

Excellent Communication and Trip
Maggie's communication was great prior to the trip. She was very accommodating and flexible on time/dates and tour options. She met us on the first day with our driver, Kelvin. The safari was everything and more than I could have hoped for. We saw the big five and was lucky enough to see the migration. The driver had great communication and was a very skilled driver. He easily navigated situations that looked impossible. He listened constantly to the radio and took us to all the highlight events. I recommend to bring a giant bag of candy for the kids in the area. The Masai village tour was very interesting.

Amazing Memories Safaris certainly lived up to their name!
We decided to use a local Kenyan company and we’re so glad we did! Communication with Anne and her team was excellent. We chose the Kenyan and Tanzanian tour with Zanzibar extension which was fantastic! Our guides Daniel and Mike were knowledgeable, great drivers and good fun! Accommodation was great as were the amazing things we saw, which surpassed what we imagined… a leopard eating a gazelle up a tree, elephants mating, cheetahs stalking, lionesses resting up a tree, cute baby elephants, giraffes, monkeys galore, some great sunsets….and the list goes on. I would highly recommend using this company! If you are thinking of going, just do it!

Crimson Brooke Safaris go above and beyond to provide their clients the experience they are seeking
From the first communications with Crimson Brookes Safaris we knew we had made the right choice. They are extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a tailor made tour which ticked all of our desires, for a competitive price.
We appreciate how Betty and Amos did everything in person, from the warm welcome at the airport, to the thoughtful items in the gift bags and check in’s along the tour to make sure everything was going as planned. It was reassuring to know they were just a phone call away if needed.
The accommodations were beyond our expectations and we especially enjoyed the luxury tented camp! The perfect location to base ourselves.
We can not recommend Crimson Brooke enough, and are truly grateful for the memories this trip has provided us. We look forward to our next adventure with them!

Very responsive
Hyrax organised a fantastic mid-range 8-day safari for us that included Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP. We were very happy with the experience. Our guide / driver Kasaine was great!
